More root fun

Have been looking at the NamespaceResolver, the class I want to write
unit tests against (tests that will run outside of Eclipse). The more
I look at it the more it appears that the simple JarClasspathRoot
implementation I built on Sat is not sufficient.

I have spent the evening building full implementations of Context and
Classpath roots.

It took a while so I didn't have time to write more tests. Although,
the tests I wrote on sat still run (a good sign!).

Here's how one would use the roots.

lets say we need a ClasspathRoot and the classpath contains:

src1
jar1
src2
jar2

assuming the above list is the classpath order and that each label
above is a java.io.File,

ClasspathRoot root = new ClasspathRoot();
root.addFolder(src1);
root.addJar(jar1);
root.addFolder(src2);
root.addJar(jar2);

that's it, the root is built.

Context is easier if you expect an exploded war layout (like Spindle
does today).

ContextRoot root = new ContextRoot();
root.addFolder(explodedWarFolder);

and we are done.

The implementation does allow one to add more than one folder to the
context root.

As I said, I just finished writing these and need to write tests too.
